You & Me

Want to pack your bags
Something small
Take what you need and we'll disappear
Without a trace
We'll be gone gone
Moon and the stars will follow the car
Then when we get to the ocean
Gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world

Oh and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them
To fly

You and me together
We can do anything, baby
You and me together
Yes, yes
The two of us together
We can do anything, baby
You and me together
Yes, yes

You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising
Like rolling around eyes
Closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars

Our arms are wide as the sky
We're gonna ride the blue
All the way to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world

Oh and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them
To fly

We can do anything, baby
You and me together
Yes, yes
The two of us together
We can do anything, baby
You and me together
Yes, yes

We can always look back at what we did
Always the memory of you and me, baby
But right now it's you and me forever, girl
You know we can do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we can do anything

You and me together
We can do anything, baby
You and me together
Yes, yes
The two of us together....

I heart Monday presents

Last night, Danny surprised me with this fetching little bauble from Freshy Fig....a vintage ball and chain locket (Get it?? Ball and chain. HA!). I've been wanting a locket for a while, and this one is simply perfect. Now, I just have to find some teeny tiny pictures to hide inside.

a wedding AND a baby

this time two weeks ago, my family and i were in southern california because my cousin, jennifer, was getting married! the big day was june 6th, and it was lovely...lots of love and lots of sunshine; both of which are clearly evident in the picture below.



the ever adorable john, nephew of the bride, served as flowerboy. there was some concern by his mom, stacey, that guests might think he was the flowergirl given his long, blonde, curly locks, but i think his tie (of course, removed as soon as he got to the end of the aisle) set the record straight.



the wedding location was small and intimate. we hung around there a while after the ceremony waiting for our family photos with the photog, so in the meantime we snapped a few of our own. my little brother and i almost have the same hair color in this picture. almost.



sometimes it scares me how much i look like my mom and that i never noticed it until a couple years ago. isn't she pretty? this bodes well for me (and danny).



immediately after taking the following picture of jen & lee and getting excited because i could tell how great the next pictures would be, my camera flashed a mean little red light at me telling me it had no power left. that's the problem with a camera battery that lasts forever; you forget to charge it at all.



danny was at the wedding too, by the way. unfortunately, he didn't make it on film the memory card before the camera cut off (my mom took some pictures, but she's kind of slow on the upload). we did manage one poor quality camera phone picture which i promptly made danny set as his iphone background (to make him that guy). shockingly, he hasn't removed it yet.



now, for the second half of the the title of this blog post: a baby. the beautiful family below is going to be welcoming a new baby in december! i am beyond excited. seriously. beyond. john's going to have a little brother or sister in a few months! have i mention that i was excited?



it was definitely a great weekend for our family - a wedding and a baby all in one weekend! congratulations and excitement all around!

seems that us girl cousins are grown ups now...how weird.

you say it's your birthday; it's my birthday too (yeah)

saturday (the 13th) was danny's birthday, and sunday (the 14th) was mine. we're convenient like that - back to back birthdays. we celebrated by having a deliciously wonderful meal at the melting pot which lasted approximately 10 hours.


























we spent the rest of the weekend being as lazy as possible. danny got me a wii active, and i can't wait to try it out (i had to wait due to the word "lazy" used to describe the weekend)!



so, in honor of the anniversary of the birth of the hubs' (i don't know where that came from), i wanted to take a moment to say how much i love him. he makes me incredibly happy, more than i can even say. everyday i think about spending the rest of my life with him, and it puts the biggest grin on my face. i mean, just look how cute he is!

this is not a love story
